I have not had my period in many years - 7 or 8 years with only a few periods! I don't know what to do and worry about my health - can someone help?

Hi Diane!
Thanks so much for getting back to me on this. I appreciate it so much.

I haven't had my hormone levels tested recently, perhaps I should contact my doctor about setting up an appointment with an endrocrinologist. I previously took estrogen (I believe) to counter my low levels of estrogen and heightened testosterone level. That got my period going but I was miserable and felt extremely depressed so I stopped. Then I tried progesterone and that got my period going, along with yoga, but once I had a stressful occurence in my life, my period stopped again.

I don't think I have ever had my thyroid levels tested. I will also bring that up with my doctor.

I am a commuter cyclist, so I would estimate that I cycle about 40 minutes - 1 hour per day, 4 - 5 days a week. Other than that, I walk and have a somewhat physical job (cooking/dishwashing/serving) so I would say that I am fairly active but I don't go to a gym or run or anything. Over-exercising wasn't very much a part of my eating disorder because I ate so little that I had no energy to do anything.

I am taking St. John's Wort, for anxiety, Don Quai, for ammenhorrea, calcium with vitamin D, for bones, and vitamin C.

Thank you again for your help!
Smiles, Annie
